I think I'm going to go ahead and do our coaches a favor and offer this kid...

Young man, I want to, on the behalf of the University of South Carolina football program and Gamecock Nation, extend to you the opportunity of your lifetime. To suit up in the Garnet and Black and become a member of our football team. Study hard, take summer school, skip high school, and knock that SAT thing out of the way. IF you can do that, we'll give you the first carry of the game Against UNCheat in September...too much?

This does not take into signing players for the last years class as we did with the EE's this year as well as, take for example the 25 limit when we signed more than 25 in 2007(31), 2003(28), 2009 (29), 2005 (28), 2011 (32)...... Once again the coaches work the numbers and they always workout.

You obviously either didn't read or don't understand my original post. There are only 5 seniors on our roster. This is the smallest senior class I can remember. Normally each senior class has between 15-20. If you only lose 5 seniors and only 5 juniors (estimated) will come out, that only leaves 10 spots. Couple the fact that we have had our annual limit and total scholarships limits reduced by 3 in each of 2013 and 2014 year. Now you do the math. Tony Morrell of TBS says he expects our 2014 class to be around 15.

I'm in Spartanburg now but i grew up in Union. My nephew played some travel ball with AJ. He's as advertised. Going to be built like his dad. AJs got a little brother too. 7th grade same build.
I thought this was a cool story about a kid with good potential, very driven. Even better he's from my hometown. Even better his mentor is a tater and AJ wants to be a gamecock! Too young to crown yet but hope he pans out.

But we are going to use all of our LOIs because we have to. It would be foolish to only sign 15 or so and then be way under the 82 cap (which is already reduced from 85).

This is why I don't understand the drive to sign 23+ next year... poor math skills. If we have 82 (after filling up the roster this recruiting class, or with walk-ons earning spots in the spring), then lose five seniors (78), and another five or so Juniors/Transfers (72)... then you add on 23 incoming freshman (95), you are now in a position where you have to tell 13 kids who you recruited to come here, who you trained to be gamecocks, who want to be here... (Shrug) "Oh well son... we have some new guys who we want more than you." That's despicable.

LB Christian Miller of Spring Valley will attend a junior day at Alabama Saturday. It will be his second trip to Tuscaloosa after attending the Texas A&M last season. "I'm just looking forward to getting down there and spending more time with my recruiting coordinator, Chris Rumph," said Miller. He is considering attending a junior day at Florida State in February. His offers are from Clemson, USC, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Houston, Mississippi State, Texas Tech and Duke. As for junior days at USC or Clemson he said, "I haven't heard from either school about a junior day so I guess I'm not going." Miller does not have any favorites.
